We walked all around campus and checking out the new construction and expansion of campus. ISU has a record enrollment this year; exceeding 29,000 students. Glenn hasn't been back since we graduated and me since 2006. We walked through central campus, my favorite part of campus, and reminisced.
"I had French in that building!"
"Look how nice the new chem building is. We were stuck in the old basement."
We had lunch on Welch ave. the location of our favorite bars and many a drunken college night. The bar where Glenn and I first met, People's, is sadly closed and changed to a restaurant.
Before we left, we look a family picture in front of the campanile, ISU's iconic clock tower, and stocked up on Iowa State gear.
It was not to be nostalgic of our college days. We both had a wonderful college experience an found each other at the end of it.
Luckily, we spent the evening with a close college friend who lives in Des Moines and we talked about our college days even more. All while oogling over her 2 month old baby. I guess times have changed, but it was nice to remember where we started.
